July 21, 2012--If you've been trying to think of a way to enhance
your entrance-way, Melinda Myers is here to help.

Add life and year round interest to your front
entrance.

What started out as a typical foundation planting of
evergreens has expanded into a colorful entry-way.

A mixture of neatly pruned Evergreens, are softened
by the billowy Catmint flowers that last all summer. These provide a nice
transition between the green and purple leafed shrubs while echoing the blue-green
needles of the nearby Colorado blue spruce.

A newly re-landscaped entrance takes the focus off
the garage doors and onto the front entrance. The vine covered trellises soften
while the strawberries provide an edible groundcover.The stonework stabilized the hillside and
created planting space for more seasonal flowers.

Mixed beds flank the sidewalk directing visitors from
the drive to the front door of this home. The variety of plants combine to
provide year round interest to this foundation planting.
